ReplyDeleteEDINBURG - Hidalgo County's top lawman says home invasions are becoming a major problem in the region.
Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Trevino said his deputies have responded to nine home invasions in two months. He expects that number to keep climbing.
"Home invasions have been a real problem for us, and they have always been. It is a priority crime situation for us," Trevino said.
The sheriff said the home invasions have one thing in common.
"Of the nine home invasions that we have investigated, eight of them have some sort of nexus to a drug-trafficking organization or a human-traffic organization," he said.
He said the criminals often target the wrong residents.
"Sometimes they get flawed intelligence. ... The people that they are looking for might have just moved from their rent houses and somebody else moved in, and they get their door kicked down," Trevino said.
"They might get the wrong intersection ... the wrong address. It does happen to innocent people," Trevino said.
Most of the times, the criminals take jewelry or televisions.
Trevino said some of the victims don't give investigators all the details about the crimes.
The sheriff blames the raise on home invasions on gangs and drug-trafficking organizations.
"When we speak of traffic organizations, I am referring to local organizations," Trevino said.
"We have had some reports where drug trafficking organizations in Mexico have ordered a home invasion in order to retrieve what they think was there. Those are few and far in between," he said.
The sheriff urges the public to be aware of what happens in their neighborhoods.
Trevino said he created a special task force to fight the home invasions.
" i wonder if this task force will be anything like the ole "panama" unit?

ReplyDeleteWESLACO - A U.S. Customs and Border Protection memorandum outlines the steps the agency will take if a sequestration goes into effect in Washington.
The memo was circulated Wednesday afternoon. CHANNEL 5 NEWS obtained a copy from the National Border Patrol Council's website.
The agency will be forced to cut $752 million from its 2013 budget. To meet that requirement, the CBP will reduce travel, training and expenditures in supplies and facilities.
The cuts also would affect certain contracts, the memo states.
The impact on personnel will be reduced overtime for officers and agents. It also would implement an agency-wide hiring freeze. The plan also would require mandatory furloughs of up to 14 non-consecutive days for all CBP employees.
The budget reductions will go into effect only if a sequestration happens, the memo states. the entire document is available at krgv news
